On behalf of the organizing committee, we are proud to announce that World Chemistry Forum 2019 (WCF-2019) will be held during May 22-24, 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. On this honorable occasion, Organizing Committee invites the participants from all over the world to take part in this significant event.

With the theme ˇ°Analysis, Catalysis, Nanoscienceˇ±, WCF-2019 will mainly focus on these 3 hot areas of analytical chemistry, catalysis and nanotechnology in chemistry this year. The program will be comprised of plenary forum, industry summit and 26 breakout sessions from the basic research to their current application.

Through oral presentations, posters, panel discussion and colorful social activities, it aims to provide a grand platform for the professionals, decision makers and students from the area of Chemistry to share their research achievement and indulge in interactive discussions and technical program at the event. There will be also a space for companies and institutions to present their technology, service, products, and innovations.

Finally, we hope WCF-2019 will be a multidisciplinary conference providing 500+ participants internationally a first hand learning channel, as well as the opportunity to establish partnership and explore new business.
